starting a new project

I just ditched the first blog post. I’m already starting a new one.

SO. I have a new project I am starting to working on for work. Bootstraping is amazing, I have so many ideas to do things “right”. Every time you’re starting a new fresh bootstrap it’s always the same.

Starting with NextJs 15. I didn’t follow any template, just the classic next/shadcn for now. Oh and Strapi 5 for the backend. This time we will try to make a Backend for Frontend.

Auth

I wanted to use better-auth, but seems there’s an annoying you need a database. Not that I don’t need it, but as I am coupled with Strapi, that doesn’t really work for me. Back to next-auth or auth.js, I already managed to make it work almost perfectly with Strapi. This thing is still in beta but it’s working well. Ditching the passwordless with OTP 🤞. This will really help our users so they won’t have weird problem when connecting, staying in the app webview on mobile or something.

I’ll put my updates on this matter in another post.
